Between IzUr and Stokes in the

Stokes is an Ocala Democrat?if any

Sexator White's nomination and
confirmation to the Supreme Court is a
happy solution by the President of a
matter which has been productive of
much trouble. Mr. White will grace
the position he is chosen to fill, being
a man of brilliant parts and of especially
sound, legal teaming. The
South should rejoice in his selection,
giving as it does representation of the
South proper on the bench of the Supreme
Court. In addition, it is commendatory
from the fact that it in-1

Cleveland has again done the right

There was ab*ut twenty-two or
twenty-three criminal cases in Court
last week. Out of this entire number
only one conviction was secured.
Several were continued, several nol

in two or three cas";s, and three plead
guilty. This mean something. IIow
is imhatput of a, whole week's work
only one conviction arises, and the
finding in each and every case where
an acquittal was the result seemed to
create 110 surprise on the public mind?
We could hear expressions indicative
?f an acquittal in a good many ca?es
even before Court. There is bound t?
be a fault somewhere. And if the
public are not expecting a conviction
even before Court it musi mean that
the testimony won't warrant a conviction.
And right here we venture
the suggestion that trial justices look
more closely into the preparation of
cases before they send them to the

Hewitt's speech before the Southern

to have been out of place?exceedingly
untimely to say the least.
However, there is no denying his assertion
that the present Southern representation
in both houses of Congress

point of intellect. Especially in the

to those intellectual giants?Cal|

MR. GLADDEN' TO MR. HALL.
"A Litt'c More Cider Tuo."
Mr. Editor: In rep It to Mr. W. S.
Hairs piece in your paper of the 14th,
I would say that I expected to stay out
of the farce, as W. S. Hall calls ir, as
it was only some small malice amongst
the young men and clerks of our
neighborhood (as I thought.) but as
the old grey heads, and others, are at
the head of it, I must say something
in defence. It is nothing but spite
from beginning to end. The report
that we were selling cider is correct,
but the report that we were selling
cider with alcohal in it, or cider that
would "make drunk'- is untrue. We
were selling cider purchashed from a
1 - 1- 1 - t :*1. TTTOf
rCilUUiC UUU&tJ ?im luu it m.k~
ranty that it had been analyzed and
did not come under the statute preventing
the sale of intoxicating beverages
in South Carolina. The matter
has been before Trial Justice Jones
and iiolprossed. Xow, Mr. W. S. Hall
says you give an account of the trial
of Mr. James A. Gladden before Tria.
Justice Jones for selling intoxicatingcider.
Ja6. A. Gladden never has
been tried, and I doirt see how you
could try a man without a case. Mr.
IIa.ll seems to think that there hai been
injustice done to Mr. Will Barber, but
I don't think s?. The man argued his
own case and was not interfered with
in the examination of his witneises.
After the examination of all the wit
nesses was over, I said to him, "the
next time you go to act Tillman spy
you fix up rour case a little better."
I beg Mr.' Barber's pardon, for calling
him a spy, as it seems that some
others have done the spying and he has
d?ne the reporting for them. 1 have
nothing against Mr. Will Barber. I
have always been a true friend to the
family, and I think if there is a Christian
and a gentleman in Chester County,
his fathei- is one. I would not ?ay or
do anything to injure one of his children
without a cause. I think there
is nothing lower down and meaner
than to pick up every little report that
you hear about a man, youag men
especially, and report it in the papers
? l ?iu? vV 4C TTfi 11 enr*
as uemg cut; num. ??. ?...
that it is more than the good people of
this neighborhood can stand to allow
the guilty to pass. Does the State witnesses
or trial justice say that any one
is guilty ?n the preliminary? Is a
man guilty because r?u and your followerssavso?
I w#uld say no. Mr.
W. S. Ila'll goes on and says Mr. James
Gladden will not deny this, that and
the other. Why did he not come to
the trial, as he calls it, and bring hi3
witnesses with him and prove those
things and not leave it to a mare boy.
If he was too timid to come, I think
he ought to keep his mouth shut now,
and not say "didn't we kill the bear",
after he had been killed. Mr. W. S.
Hall knows exactly where I atand and
he may think that lie can force me
into the line with him to do his bidding,
but he will be very much mistaken.
I am one of the old true and
tried straightout Democrats. I heard
there was some drunkenness or drinking
in the neighborhood on Christms:.
day, and I also heard that some of
them came to our store drinking on
. i,nf y hf>arrl from them
VUI IQLLLiCfco vie* y i ?-rw*v A MV??>
on Tuesday and there was no drunkeu;iess.
The liquor furnished by the
dispensary had given ?ut and they had
nothing but cider. I never saw a man
d -unk on that cider in my life, and it
has been proven by the State witnesses
it will not make drunk.
Now, Mr. W. S. Hall, I am not in
my dotage yet, and if I was I would
not call 011 you to manage my business
for me; so I will ask you and your
followers very politely not to bother
my business "any more, and if that
will not do, I will order you, and if
that don't do, I will make you.
Will Barber could tell if he would
where s#me of the liquor came from
that caused the drunkenness at the
mill. I think he saw a fight caused
from dispensary liquor before they
went to Gladden's. There was liquor
at different places in the neighborhood
and all that were drunk at the mill
and store went there drunk, yet Gladden's
cider made them drunk. Better
lock your cider and water up for fear
some'one comes and drinks after he is
drunk and it will be blamed on y9ur
water or cider.
I think this is one of the most ma
* i- ? J?
licious pieces ever was written num
any neighborhood, after the indictment
had been proven to be false
from beginning to end, by all of the
State witnesses, except by the men
named in the report of the preliminary.
For #ne mau to get up and press in
two others and say the trial was a
farce, }ast as well say they all swore
lies, trial justice and all, and we are
the best and only truthful men in the
community. Don't right me over my
son's (Jas! A. Gladdon's) shoulders';
came straight forward, for you know
all the time that my son was doing
business for me and did as I told him.
There are too many StfOi'TgQsters
times getting up and picking up every
little slanderous thing they can against
men just in order that their names
may be seen in public print.
Mr. Ilall is attempting to make it
appear that my son was guilty of this
charge, but that the trial justice was
charitable enoujh to let it pass as a
mere warning; therefore he calls it a
farce. Does he mean to say Trial
Justice .Tones, upon whom alone the
case depended, (for there was nojury)
would forget his oath of office so far
as not to punish the guilty, but wouici
all*w "him to pose as the innocent"
even to the disappointment of the best
men of the community? Does not Mr. Hall
know that if Mr. Jones wonkl pervert
the purposes of his court, and should
violate his solemn oath of office, as
Mr. Hail's charge implies that his commission
would be revoked? Or now
does not Mr. Hall know that Mr.
Jones discharged his duty juithfully
and fearlessly? If so, why d?es he
make the charge. If it had net been
proven undoubtedly, by reliable witnesses,
that there was no cause for a
trial, this Justice would never have
rendered a false verdict, as a mere
warning.
Now I have said nothing in my communication
but what any farmer or
plough boy can underhand, and if
any of them should happen to find
their name signed to it, by any hook
or crook, they would know what they
were signing. Now, Mr. Hall, I am
done and will not pay any attention to
your slanderous pieces in public print.
A word to the unwise is sufficient.

ITEMS FROM STROTHER.

With the adreot of the busy season
hopes are aroused for better times.
o longer ao we near uu every siue
the universal cry of "hard times."
The people hare gone bravely to work,
and it is to be hoped that the efforts
all make to succeed will meet with
210 disappointment.
We have learned with infinite regret
that Mrs. Bailey Suber waa burned
out last night. Origin of the fire unknown,
yet the loss is a heavy one.
And if we mistake not, this is not the
first time such a caUmity has visited
that estimable family.
From the aspect of the clouds, we
anticipate snow. The exceedingly
pleasant weather has caused the fruit
trees to put forth their blossoms,
though not to any great extent, and
we rejoice that it has turned cold
again.
Truly the orchard of Mr. D. T.
James causes one to reflact seriourly
upon the feasibility of earning a livelihood
by utilizing the fruit. Not only
has he a sufficiency of fruit for his
own use, but he could furnish a market,
if there was only one convenient.
Colds are quite prevalent, and the
general complain is, "I have grippe."

that the County Commissioners
put in ten panes ot gUss, and that the
yaid be raised with ?and so as to carry
water from the door of the building.
The committee on the Poor llou*e
report everything kept in good ordor,
and the inmates well cared for, and
report the following property on haua:
10 hogs and 6 pigs, 35 busheU ol peas,

corn. We fiud the potatoes rottening.
We recommeiid that Knee Dave be
deprived of his supply ot tobacco as a
means of punishment, and that the
same be withheld from him until he
behaves better. The number of inmates
are: wites?3 males, 4 female*;
blacks?5 males, 6 females. We recom
mend the removal of Fannie Taylor,
at her own request, and are satisfied
she is able to maintain herself.
We wish to call the attention *f the
County Commissioners to a bridge
over Taylor's Creek, near Mr. X. A.
Peay's, a bridge at Dutchman's Creek
and a bridge on the Camden road near
Mr. Peaj's. Also to recommend mat
a railing be placed arcHfid a gully near
R. N. McMactors place, and the road
passing iurongh Cohen's and Linder's
place, called "tue Black Jack road,
needs crosslaring. The toad near
Brown's Bridge needs the crosslaying
repaired. The road from Macken's to
the Columbia road needs working, and
it is reported that there is no overseer
for this road.
We call afention of the County
Commissioners to the fact that Mrs.
Allen, a widow lady, has reported to
us that she is suffering with a cancer
and asks for medical and pecuniary
aid, and request yonr Honor to order
a physician sent to her today, m her
request is for prompt and urgent medical
attention.

i Well, my >r '-o-npanion,
It seems that lire is no lonzer mine;
j So I will write yo i a f?w lines
] To look at when I am pone.
| When I am calmly sleeping
In my sweet and dreaml^s rest;
J When my tired hands are folded
Across my peaceful breast,
j Will you come, my love, and stand above
me,
j And softly call my name?
And will you touch'my ru'.d respou^eless
I lips . ,
j That wi!l never smile again?
: When raj weary form i? iesting
j Beneath the falling leaves,
; And the flowers softly swaying
; In the gentle evening breeze.
Will you turn away and leave int
To my slumber, long and deep,
While the night winds sigh uound me
And the sta s their vigil k-:ep?
In the silence and the darkness
As the shadows come and got(
l couia hoc neea me iuijx, uu-uo a
drearu on,
For I would net know.
My ears would be deaf to all harsh
words.
And my soul will be free from pain
And never a scornful glance caa I see
To wound my heart again.
For He who watches the sparrows fall
Has marked my resting place,
And 1 shall sleep on till lie bid's me rise
To look in His blessed face.
It is nothing to me if the world forgets
If Christ remea-bers still,
For I know One watchcs beside me
| Who does all things well.
My darling, it grieves me to die and
j leave you alone, but I hope we may m?et
and be happy in a befter land than this.
